Night at the Museum (2006)

Night at the Museum Synopsis

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM is an action-adventure-comedy that comes to life by night. Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he’s destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how “big,” when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry’s watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he’s history’s fiercest predator. Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and save the museum.

In order to help introduce and reintroduce audiences to the cast of characters in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, 20th Century Fox has revealed a set of brand new posters in promotion of the film. Unfortunately, while the images are rather cute, they’re paired with some facepalm-worthy taglines.

There's loads of romance to be found in Wes Anderson's odd love letter to New York City, The Royal Tenenbaums. But one of the most enviable activities the Tenenbaum children enact is hiding away in the American Museum of Natural History. And now you can do it too. Well, sort of.

The first of the film’s many historical character to come back will be Robin Williams, who is currently in negotiations to reprise his role of Teddy Roosevelt, according to THR. It’s unfortunate that this doesn’t really give us any insight into the film, as he portrayed Roosevelt in both of the previous Night at the Museum films, serving as Larry’s informational guidance counselor.

This actually isn't the first time that Fox has tried to launch a theme park of their own. In 1999 the studio opened the doomed Fox Studios Backlot in Australia, but the idea wound up flopping and the park closed two years after it opened. The Genting Outdoor Theme Park that currently exists will begin the upgrade process in September...

What will we get when Stiller directs himself in an adaptation of James Thurber’s short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty? Will it be as twisted and aggressive as Thunder or as safe as a Madagascar sequel? Thurber’s original story, first published in 1939, follows a meek protagonist with an overactive imagination.

Zwart said the pitch is inspired by the fantasy everyone has as a kid, to be left alone in the theme park to roam freely. "Just the idea of taking a ride like in Disneyland and the rides suddenly come to life

Paramount jumped on the opportunity to scoop up George Kay and Jim Field Smith’s family-oriented adventure-comedy idea. Plot details are being kept on the hush hush, but, according to THR, expect “a fantasy-tinged four-quadrant comedy in the vein of Night at the Museum.”

The reviews have been terrible and the movie’s much talked about theatrical debut is more of a whimper than a proper, box office terminating takeover. We don’t know whether Memorial Day totals will give it a boost, but we do know that over the weekend, it wasn’t even number one

The new trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian starts out much the same as the others, but somewhere about halfway through takes a right turn. One of the fun things about the real Smithsonian museum
